Access Bank has stated that it will no longer accept Cheque books bearing the defunct Diamond bank logos.
Access Bank had acquired Diamond Bank after the latter announced its decision to drop its international operating licence to focus on national operations following capitalisation issues.
The bank said that the decision to discontinue accepting cheque books bearing the logo of its merger partner is to increase efficiency in service delivery.
It said that customers who want to get new cheque books should visit any of its branches and apply for one.
“In order to process your transactions more efficiently, we wish to inform you that effective March 1, 2020, we will discontinue honouring all cheques bearing the logo of the former Diamond Bank,” an email to customers read.
“This means that from the 1st of March, the Bank will no longer honour all cheques bearing the old logo of former Diamond. This is to enable us to process your transactions faster and more efficiently to ultimately serve you better.
“We are committed to making this process easy for you. You can walk into any branch… You can also contact your relationship officer.
“You will receive an SMS notification from your preferred pickup branch. Please visit this branch to collect your new Access Bank cheque book.”
